Hi, After re-installing fbsd 4.5 on Saturday after a hard drive failure (Fujitsu), I was pretty annoyed ;-) to find 4.6 had been released when I got to work on Monday. Anyway I got the iso's and went to upgrade when I got home. I've tried both an upgrade over 4.5 and a fresh install, and each time, as the subject says, ppp demand dialling stops working with 4.6 using the exact same config as I have with 4.4 then 4.5 (clean install). Has anything changed? The FreeBSD box is set up as a straightforward gateway/firewall, using howtos etc. on the fbsd website, and I am setting it up in stages (1. get ppp working form the fbsd box, 2. get natd working, 3. recompile kernel and enable ipfw). It's the first stage 4.6 is having trouble with. Here are therelevant ppp config files I'm using - /etc/ppp/ppp.conf :- default: set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE) #set log +tcp/ip # Ensure that "device" references the correct serial port # for your modem. (cuaa0 = COM1, cuaa1 = COM2) # set device /dev/cuaa1 set speed 115200 disable pred1 deny pred1 disable lqr deny lqr set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT \OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" set redial 5 5 # set timeout 180 # 3 minute idle timer (the default) enable dns # request DNS info (for resolv.conf) interactive: set phone xxxxxx set login set authname xxxxxx set authkey xxxxxx set timeout 300 set openmode active accept chap allow users jon demand: set phone xxxxxx set login set authname xxxxxx set authkey xxxxxx set timeout 300 set openmode active accept chap set ifaddr 127.1.1.1/0 127.2.2.2/0 255.255.255.0 add 0 0 127.2.2.2 allow users jon and here's /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup :- demand: delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR MYADDR: add 0 0 HISADDR the relevant section of /etc/rc.conf looks like this :- ppp_enable="YES" ppp_mode="auto" ppp_nat="NO" ppp_profile="demand" All I have to do then (on 4.4 / 4.5 at least) is create a starter /etc/resolv.conf with dns servers from my ISP and it dials OK e.g. when I ping an internet ftp site. The exact same process does not work with 4.6, when I ping as before it just sits there, does not dial, but also does not give me the 'could not resolve' error I get if I don't create a starter resolv.conf file. Essentially my configuration was set up on fbsd 4.4, then carried over to 4.5, and now it's broken with 4.6. I don't profess to be an expert but I can't see anything obviously wrong, I've looked at the 4.6 release notes, and checked the mailing list archives for mention of this, but can't find anything. Help would be appreciated! Thanks, Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
